Personal:

I'm married with four children.  I run with a group called the Bingham Butt-Kickers, a really fun group of people that gets me out running early on Tuesdays and Thursdays, and sometimes Saturdays.   I recently found out that I've been running with poor form for many years, which has probably contributed to some nagging aches and pains I've had for years.  One of my big goals now is to be able to run with better form and to have running feel more effortless.  I hope this won't take too many years to achieve!

I first got up and made it to the Rec Center at 5:30 to do Lisa's class.  We worked on upper body strength.  I then spent a few minutes on my own working on core exercises.  Later, I ran on the treadmill, and again did a fast 5K.  I probably should just be running slow and easy, but I enjoy doing those 5Ks.  This time I managed 22:45 at no incline.  Now again, that's a treadmill time and I could not run that fast on the roads.  Eric and Kelli, I think you could run faster on a treadmill than the roads because on the treadmill there are no hills and no wind resistance, so it's easier going.  Give it a try, I bet you could set an all time record for a 5K on the treadmill.

That is a great 5k time. I am so glad that you are able to run again. We all missed you while you were gone.

Cheryl, thanks for the happy birthday. It seems your running has been going well after St.George, 22:45 on the treadmill is a mental game, staying with the pace. What is your 5K PR?

Thank you, Julie. I appreciate that nice comment.

Brent--My 5K pr all-time is 21:59. Lately I can run a 5K in either the high 23 or low 24 minute range. I'm hoping that getting my hamstring issues healed will allow me to run faster on the road soon and maybe I'll be able to match or at least come close to my all-time PR.

It sounds like you're feeling good. I'm glad! Thanks for the nice run this morning. Sometimes those tried-and-true routes are nice.
